"The difference between a lap where the driver is using everything and one where he is recovering is so brutal that Lando said the driver can be caught off guard missing the braking point because the speed difference between one lap and another is so great.

You have to be consistently aware of average speeds so you don't end up going off track or doing something silly." translated via DeepL"

"McLaren's Chief Designer Rob Marshall on the first day of Bahrain Testing- via @NextgenAuto: "A productive first day in Bahrain as we continue our learning and development phase on track with the MCL40. "We have started this week by prioritising learning with a programme that has been deliberately thought out in order to optimise work that accelerates the development of our package. "You can see from Oscar and Lando's running that they have carried out a lot of aerodynamic tests in very different conditions to those encountered in Barcelona. In this context we have prioritised data collection"

"Ted Kravitz on MCL40: There are so many innovations on this McLaren. Interesting how they have to keep the nose cool. But if you have a look on the nose cone - look at that where you see where it says DeWalt - there's an adjuster. . There's an adjuster there and you see the little steel stay that goes down and adjusts the front wing angle. So Lando's about to go on out and then the front suspension as well is really interesting. As he passes us have a look at the backward leg of that front suspension. It is so far swept down for aerodynamic gain. . That's a real innovation. I think you can"

"What's it like working with Andrea Stella Lando and Oscar What kind of structure did you find and was there anything that surprised you Leonardo Fornaroli: A wonderful organization. Everyone on the team is eager to work to improve and loves their job. They welcomed me warmly and made me feel part of the family. When I ask questions they are always ready to help me and give me the right advice. Lando and Oscar are excellent drivers and people. They also welcomed me warmly. "

"McLaren's Chief Designer Rob Marshall was asked what struck him most in the paddock after the Barcelona and Bahrain test sessions: "To be perfectly honest what struck me most was how competitive everyone seems to be. I sincerely thought there was a very good chance that someone would come up with a package that would satisfy everyone right from the start. And it seems that this is not the case. In his view the current hierarchy appears particularly dense even if it remains difficult to assess in the pre-season phase. It feels like there's a good group of very competitive cars. As I often say"

"🗣: You did [---] Bahrain Grands Prix today. Did you win them Lando: Definitely not. 🗣: Both of them Lando: No definitely not. No we did a good amount of laps we're certainly not quick enough. So plenty of work for us to look into and try and improve on. I think today was our first bit of understanding on where we stand in terms of pace against at least Ferrari who did a full long run. We're not really close to them at the minute. We're certainly not bad but we're not quick enough. So just testing and we've got plenty of things we know we can already improve on and work on so nothing to be"

"McLaren's Technical Director of Engineering Neil Houldey after Bahrain Testing - Day 2: Our second day on track during Pre-Season Test [--] in Bahrain is complete and we can be pleased with the overall amount of learning weve achieved today. Its been one of the most productive days of pre-season so far and we collected lots of important data. Well continue to work with the information collected to tweak and refine the car in terms of how it operates especially following Landos race simulation this afternoon. That data is very useful from a car engineering perspective and will play an important"

"Alex talks about Lando doing race runs behind him: 🗣: How is the way you race going to change with these new cars and the demands of recharging batteries and stuff like that Alex: I think more selective more strategic in terms of. We sometimes have them in like DRS zones where - you know when it's a double DRS zone you pass the driver in one corner and then they get you straight back. You need to be mindful of them kind of things. But for the most part I mean the quicker car will always overtake. Lando did a race run behind me today. And I mean that guy could overtake me in any corner any"

"Hi Lando world champion number [--]. What is the feeling Lando: Pretty good pretty good. I mean it's great it's nice every time I see it it's a nice reminder when I see the number [--]. It's an honor to have it. It makes me smile every time. But at the same time it doesn't change anything when I'm in the car you know. It's not like it means I can relax or do anything differently it means I almost have to push more than before. Yeah that's the way it is but it's a nice feeling that's for sure. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022279328629715023 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022279328629715023"

""You already have two test sessions under your beltwhat can you tell us about this new Formula [--] Because yesterday we spoke with Max and he said it feels a bit like Formula E. But you compared it to GP2. How do you see it" George: "Well it feels like a Formula [--] carthe Mercedes is a Formula [--] car. It's a nicer car to drive in my opinion because it's smaller and lighter. You see everyone sliding a bit more and struggling a bit more with the car which is more fun. I'd never driven such a small car before and I like that. The Power Unit is definitely very complicated though. And for the"

"George: They Ferrari brought some new bits to the car I think yesterday and they just sort of lit up the timesheet. So it's been pretty impressive for sure. Everybody's got more to come. And come Melbourne there'll be a lot of upgrades. So it'll be interesting to see if Ferrari bring an upgrade to Melbourne or if this is their Melbourne package. But I guess probably the most concerning thing for everyone really is looking at Red Bull's performance especially on their engine side. They look a step above everybody else. via Sky Sports F1 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022316875946811903"

"George agrees with Lando: "As with anything in life you can't tick every single box. And there's more at stake. When these regulations came into play there was obviously a huge push on EVs from the EU and that was a big part for the likes of Audi to come in. So that's got to be a consideration. And I think nobody can argue that Formula [--] is in an amazing place currently. Of course we want the best cars the fastest cars the best racing. But I don't know how you please everybody. "As Lando said we're privileged to be in this position. And in all honesty I just want to win. I guess for a driver"

"Andrea Stella: ""First of all we had a very positive test in terms of the reliability we achieved with our new car the MCL40 and the mileage we covered. Weve shaken off the difficulties of the first days in Barcelona. When it comes to the power ranking its difficult to speak clearly in tests because of fuel loads and engine modes. However from what weve seen so far Red Bull Ferrari and Mercedes all look very strong both in single-lap pace and in race simulations. Ferraris especially Leclercs pace on long runs is quite impressive. I can say that these big names will continue to be at the top"

"Andrea Stella: This test so far has been extremely positive in terms of the mileage that we have been able to achieve reliability functionality. We have gone through all the list of tests that were yet to complete in order to sign off the car which is a such a completely new project. And I think we see with all teams that at times these cars are required to take half a day off because not only they are completely new but certainly ours but - I'm sure it's the same for everyone - especially the packaging has been particularly pushed from an engineering from an innovation point of view. So they"

"Oscar on what happened at the practice start today: I think the start today was just a mix-up in instructions. I got told to wait until whoever was in front of me had gone and then do my own launch and not do it to the lights. Clearly some other people had a different idea. So that was nothing to do with the power units. Starts need to be addressed because probably as weve all seen its a pretty complicated process now to have a safe start let alone a competitive one. So its something that well talk about between now and Melbourne Im sure"
